Asensio so much more dangerous with that close control and shot up the middle. I wish we played him where he should play.
It's a Spanish holiday today. Kind of sucks that they didn't use a start time after 5pm but ok. I guess this time works for Asia or Americas or something.
There is a couple minutes lag with my stream so I have to stay away from this forum during the game to avoid spoilers! (should be working anyway)
I believe someone has repeated over and over that Asensio is at his best when he cuts in from the right, wonder who that was,...... oh it was me great game so far.
Odriozola covers the entire right flank in like 6 seconds. He’s everywhere, so much pace and stamina.
Fluid movements at the top , plenty of creativity from all over the pitch pretty much hence no need to cross the ball endlessly. Everyone looks good, Mariano's first touch is pretty however, he is working his butt off though.
Asensio doing what Bale should be doing and also showing why he should NOT be played on the left. Vinicius needs to fix up his shooting and I know it's not against the best opposition, but it is so refreshing to see such a mobile and energetic midfield.
Asensio is playing in the same role that Modric usually plays really. He's not playing out wide. Isco is far more advanced than he is. That's the role that suits him best.
They both are given freedom to roam but save for the last 15 minutes most of Asensio's touches started out on the right, wide. he is not playing Modric's role.
Isco is awesome! Vinicious should have netted a brace by now. Mellila are awful, maybe that's a reason everyone's looking to be in beast mode
